About This Quote

Books are the shells of wisdom, which are split open for the pearls of character. This saying is very profound in the fact that it states that books are not only filled with information but also with character. When we read a book, we gain amazing insight into the character of another person. And if we become friends with someone who has read the same book as us, we will gain even more insight because we know what they were thinking when they read it.
